front half looks gr8
something unwholesome about the rear end, mostly the seat

 

[quik.]

dude
omg
daytona 848
i will love you forever

My criteria is basically obnoxiously loud hooligan machine

So the triple/twins (848 and sp2) are in with a p good shot

 

[runoutofsleep]

that 848 looks sweet. it's kind of a spaceship but i like it.

i get my bike tomorrow yeaaah

 

[Azamakumar]

nah hate the look of it
needs more expensive shiny plastic
and more cowl bell

i know chicks like that lol

 

[Azarnakumar]

Drill em out?

Or file off a section so you can get a screwdriver in there and work it that way

Edit: Az I would say it's the reg/rectifier but I don't remember mine making any kind of noise when it decided to quit the team

right in one brahhhhh
the noise was failing starting it up, sort of soft buzzing
pick it up tomorrrow morning

EDIT: had a chat a few pages back about cbrs
not too bad if you keep em to the city
easy to filter, light and flickable
look good too
i can see their purpose

I'm sure a CBR125 will get you from a to b, just fine.

When I go clothes shopping I might buy a dress and I'm sure it will protect me from the elements and perform the basic functions of clothing fine.

When I go drinking I could choose vodka cruisers over beer, and I'm sure they'd get me from sober to drunk just fine.

It sounds like I'm criticising them for being girly, which would be juvenile, but I'm not. I'm speaking from a purely utilitarian value.

They cost virtually the same as proper motorcycles like a CBF250 or a scorpio, have no advantages over these motorcycles and several obvious disadvantages.

Worst motorcycle you can buy.

 

[Azamakumar]

never said i'd buy one

k see you there bro

 

[Azamakumar]

i'll be there at 9
leaving for work at 10
will drag you up gt western hwy to the next lights if you leave early enough

 

[runoutofsleep]

oh 9 is awfully early for a saturday

i was thinking more like 11

we shall see

I am completely surprised about people's response to the low power of this bike. Honda specifically released it for a entry-level beginner. No it won't do 150kph flat, but if your bottlenecked on an Australian highway at 80kph, you have no choice.

 

[Azamakumar]

lol show me a learner that sticks to 80 on the freeway (motorcycle) and i'll suck their dick.
I've had one wave as they (was a chick, actually) passed me, when my speedo was reading 120.
its a stupid law


EDIT: all the restricted bikes are designed for learners too, you know

 

[SFinspired]

I'm planning to get a CBR125. Is it a good first bike? Cheap to drop and cheap to run?

 

[CIV1501]

i hav literally never stuck to 80 ever on a bike lol such an awkward speed

Unless you live in the city. No.

 

[SFinspired]

Unless you live in the city. No.

Ya I'm only using it to commute to uni and suburbs thats all.
Is the CBR125 easy to repair? In terms of parts availability?
